No technical system is perfect.
By optimising the structural mechanics and the piping acoustics of an industrial plant, significant reductions in structural vibrations can be achieved. This will improve the plants availability.
An optimisation cannot be carried out without a plan, but requires a precise definition of the original condition and the identification of a rehabilitation condition that can be achieved by economic means.
A metrological investigation enables a determination of the excitation forces and the structural-mechanical and acoustic amplification factors of a plant.
An evaluation of the different elements of this installation, based on international standards and guidelines, allows for prioritisation and helps to focus on the determining factors.
